Abstract

In an amplifier which generates an output voltage which is proportional to an input voltage and can be picked off between the outputs of two push-pull output stages and has peak-to-peak values of up to twice the supply voltage of the push-pull output stages, each push-pull output stage is driven by a differential amplifier having a positive and a negative differential input in each instance and whose polarity is so defined that the outputs of the two push-pull output stages have voltages of like polarity when identical voltages are present between the positive and negative differential inputs of the two differential amplifiers, a differential input of one differential amplifier being connected with a differential input of like polarity of the other differential amplifier. The remaining two differential inputs of the differential amplifiers are provided for applying a voltage proportional to the input voltage.
